When it goes down, go outside. Talk to people. Or read a book. Take advantage of the opportunity to cleanse your brain of tech.

Did you ever think that maybe (just hypothesis here) that it went down over the weekend to prevent anyone letting something out about the Baghdadi raid? Maybe it was down on purpose. Just thinking outside the box.

And the day before that, the day two days before that, today ... this has been happening since this site locked it's doors.

The main thing is I'm glad it keeps coming back up.

Been on and off for weeks or longer but hasn't it always been attacked by DOS attacks?

How would that work? Wouldn’t not being able to get past login prevent that?

No.

DDoS usually focuses on the connection establishment handshakes which take place well before the login page is served. That's why it's difficult to counter.

There's not (inherently) anything distinguishing a connection from a DDoS attack from a legitimate connection.

The only way to discriminate between the two is by correlation with other factors like "Is the source IP establishing too many connections at this time ?".

Correlation is expensive (needs a bunch of logs and log parsing), prone to false positives and sometimes impossible.

Surprised it’s holding up at all. Doesn’t seem like anyone is bothering to work on it anymore. Probably the hosting bill won’t get paid at some point or the database will fill up again like a while back.

Yes. I am in Japan, and have been having lots of issues connecting even through my vpn.

Nearly unusable on Sunday. Today is a little better.
